That last part literally made me choke on my drink laughing. Â Nothing says "Special Snowflake" like a comment like that.
I'm sorry that this happened. Â It isn't fun when someone takes something trivial and tries to spin it as if you had personally attacked them or something. Â They could have easily just ignored you instead of getting so worked up. Â
I haven't had anything like this happen to me lately, but it does unfortunately pop up every once in a while. Â The most recent was quite some time ago when I initially started the game before I had to take an extended hiatus. Â My first character was a Lalafell that I planned to say was found and raised by Hellsguard, so he was named using Roegadyn naming conventions. Â Not the most original idea and it might have been stretching lore a bit, but MOST people either didn't have a problem or they just didn't make a fuss about it if they did. Â But there was one person who apparently thought it was the most offensive thing ever, and instead of being civil and saying "Hey, I don't really think that your name fits", I was called every insult they could think of (though most were spelled incorrectly) and told I should "give up and die". Â It didn't upset me, but it was just so mind boggling that someone would take that much offense to it when I had no prior interaction with this person.
